I have I-Gageing DRO's on a small table top mill they are fine for what they cost. I bought them from Tool-doc in Wisconsin he had the lowest price at the time. I e-mailed him if he still sells

Hey, Group: Jumping in on the Topic, though perhaps not the specific issue, with a question: Why not use a good MT3 shaft, wrap it in various (reducing) grits of sandpaper, and use that to remove any

Dave: Thanks for the comments. At the start of travel, the X scale protrudes 6" from the back edge of the way - at the end it protrudes just over 12". I just checked my receipts and find that the

Bill, Nice looking lathe. Bench looks very cool and nice job on the DRO installation as well! How far does the scale on the cross slide protrude to the rear? I ask because I have the factory lamp that

Clover is a brand name for lapping compound. Dave

The real way to do it would be to grind the spindle. You need a taper attachment and a tool post grinder. A reamer would also get the job done GP

Thanks for the compliment, Ralph. I have wanted to go with the Touch DRO, but every time I look at Yuri's site I am intimidated buy how little I know about that stuff. But since you are using it on

Thanks Bill, I really like how you mounted the DROs, probable the nicest looking that I have seen. Have you looked at Touch DRO <http://www.yuriystoys.com/p/android-dro.html> ? It is a great free

Brad, The Atlas spindles are not hardened. Or at least the one in my 3996 (same as a 101.28990) is not. And none of the catalogs claim that they are. As a practical matter, the only two ways to
